How to find an immigration lawyer for a short phone consult?

Post Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:21 pm

Hi.

I'm trying to figure out some immigration issues for some work I'm trying to do, involving a P-2 visa, issued through the American Federation of Musicians, and a TN-1 visa. (I have a TN-1 and am hoping to apply for a P-2)

I think I've mostly figured out what I need to know, but I feel like something like 30-60 minutes of advice from someone who really knows this stuff would really be helpful.

So... I'm trying to find a lawyer who really knows the issues around these particular visas, and comes reasonably well-recommended, and would be willing to do a short phone consult like this. (Free would be awesome, but I suspect I could afford to pay for an hour of advice if I had to...)

Are there web sites that let you search for lawyers based on this level of precision - ie- not just immigration lawyers, but ones who know about these particular visas?

Any other ideas for how I could find such a lawyer?

Thanks, miguelramosv!

Do you know if there'd be a way to figure out which, if any, of these lawyers had expertise on the TN-1 visa and the P-2 for musicians?

look them up on the internet and give them a call directly to ask them whether they have experience in this, before paying for the real consult.

Good luck
